You Will Love the San Gabriel House Bed and Breakfast in Georgetown Texas!

The end of September found me in Georgetown, Texas enjoying their annual Wine Festival. I had the most wonderful weekend, and part of the reason why is the San Gabriel House Bed and Breakfast at University and Olive, across from Southwestern University.

San Gabriel House has a long history, it was built in 1908. There is a huge main house with a carriage house in back. Walking into the BNB is like going back in time. I almost wondered if my Grandmothers were around somewhere! Feast your eyes on these photos of this exquisite Bed and Breakfast, and click HERE for the history of this beautiful home! Sadly there are no photographs of my two breakfasts, which were incredible, but I ate them before I remembered to get photos! There was a Grilled Grapefruit and French Toast the first morning, with a never ending flow of coffee and juice. The second morning was an egg casserole, biscuits, and a couple from Zimbabwe with whom I spent a lovely hour.

Entry, with two rooms left and right.
Looking to the right is a lovely sitting room. I enjoyed the light chimes of the clock.
My room was roomy and comfortable!
There was so much space!
The entry to my room from the upstairs library. To the right they turned a closet into a shower, and to the left a closet became the bathroom.

The Library common room upstairs was huge, and there was a balcony with a porch swing.
Looking down the staircases!
The upstairs balcony was deep and shady.
My favorite feature? The huge porches, up and down. Even in the heat of the summer these porches are probably aired and cool.
Southwestern University is directly across the street.
Blue Hole Park in Georgetown. This is the San Gabriel River.
An old swimming hole, there were still families and swimmers in late September.
Peaceful.

Obviously, I give a wholehearted recommendation to visit Georgetown, and to stay at the San Gabriel House! Tell them Tam sent you!
